Electric scooter keeps shutting off because of loose fuse – need help

Posted by cigasteff@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 4 comments

Hi, I have an electric scooter (48V, lead acid batteries) and I noticed a problem:

-The scooter randomly shuts off while riding.

-When it shuts off, the alarm beeps for 2 seconds.

-I found that the problem is with the fuse that sits under the battery. It doesn’t stay firmly in place (it’s taped to the battery with some electrical tape) and when it moves or gets pressed, the scooter loses power.

-If I touch the fuse with a screwdriver, the alarm beeps and the scooter starts working again.

I think the fuse holder/connection is loose. Should I replace the fuse holder with a proper one, or is there another fix? Any advice is appreciated.

The fuse holder moving about is not the problem, it's the fuse is must likely lose in the socket. Make sure it's firmly seated. If the socket has loosened up it can easily be replaced.

Is this home made? Those wires are very small. I hope the motors are very low current draw.

I would replace that fuse holder.
